Special Plate for Santa's Supper....

This is a fabulous, magical gift for your little ones this Christmas...and Santa too! These bespoke plates - created by Karen Edward @ Funky Scottish - are ideal for displaying festive treats for Santa's supper on Christmas Eve!  Thanks to the message and signature on the cheerful, hand-painted plate, Santa can be sure of who left out the carrots, milk and chocolate biscuits for him and the reindeers to enjoy!  In the morning, watch your child's face light up in wonder when they discover an empty glass and just a few crumbs on the plate....

If you'd like to request a hand-painted, bespoke plate for Santa's Supper - just £30 - please get in touch with Karen Edward @ Funky Scottish.

Also, don't forget that Funky Scottish will be open for Pittenweem's late night, festive 'Shop & Dine' evening, this Thursday 28th November - a great chance to chat with Karen about commissioning a bespoke, special occasion plate for a loved one...or Santa Claus himself!

Discover The Art Of Pittenweem...

Don't miss our exciting arts weekend - this weekend!  It's another fabulous excuse to enjoy wandering round our beautiful village of Pittenweem.  Find out more at Pittenweem Arts Festival.

Celebrate Community...

I saw this poster on Pinterest today and loved it!  It pretty much sums up why I feel so priviliged to be part of a village community.   With a storm of big festive shopping adverts hitting TV screens this week, the 'Buy Local' message feels like the antidote to the 'corporate christmas'. 

It's easy to forget just how lucky we are to have a real, old-fashioned 'market place' on our doorstep here in Pittenweem; cafes, gift shops, artist studios, fish markets, post office, pubs - and lets not forget the butcher, the baker, the candle...

These are the places we bump into each other, say hello and take a moment to pass the time of day.  These are the small, everyday moments that really matter. We miss them when they're gone.

As mentioned last week, we're highlighting the many and varied little shops that help to give Pittenweem its character and heart, by hosting a late night, festive shop & dine evening on Thursday 28th November. Santa will be there too, giving gifts to local children. Please join us!  

'Buying Local' is about more than a few local businesses earning a living... 

It's about our little community celebrating a way of life.
